I just bought a Remington 1911R1 - $650 Canuck bucks. The dealer lists a rack of them. That's $100 less than another 'smith/dealer for the same gun.
I know they will ship to the US for those who can't find one closer to home.
The R1 seems to have the right allowable mods. I'm not sure if the mag well is bevelled ... ? I'm surprised at the mods SASS will approve, but when you consider the non-Cowboy stuff approved for SAs and lever guns, it would be hypocritical not to cut some slack for 1911s.
Is the R1 a Series '70 or '80 in design? I tried the Remington FAQ page and couldn't open the questions.
I won't be seeing my gun for a couple of weeks as I'm headed across the Rockies to visit family and I asked for shipment to be delayed. Put together a WB rig using my least offensive IPSC leather rig until I acquire a better one. I think I'll be getting a Triple K #775 from Cowboy & Shooters Supply at $60.99. Got mags and mag puches forever - stainless Randalls, Wilson, Shooting Star, Colt, Devel .... many NIB, no base pads.
I knew that old IPSC gear would come in handy someday .....
